Bet everything he ate for those ten years tasted of pine resin .
As it so happens I actually do have a tube of filling in my first aid kit. Now, I just gotta remember the first aid kit...

PS I live in Wales and our dental service collapsed years ago.
Had a chip come away from a bottom lower front on my way to an exped in the Alps a few years back. In the end I filed the rough bit down with my leatherman. Took a bit of courage but it was not really that bad. Told my father in law on my return (dentist) who had a look and said it was fine and that it was basically what he would do. Happened again this weekend so just sorted it with a diamond file - much more sophisticated tool.

Kenny,
you know why dentists have many different shaped heads and necks to their dental pliers? because if you do not grip a tooth squarley, you will shear of the enamel and expose the raw pulp and nerve underneath and it will still be attached to your jaw bone...
This will then require you to A) get the pliers attached to the nerve and pulp, and B) pull on it.

OW,OW,OW,OW,OW! That's actually made me feel ill! Absoulutely HATE going to the dentist - it's just expensive and miserable IMO and if I have to pay someone to inflict pain on me I can think of far more fun ways to do it!
I don't normally carry any dental kit with my FAK but I'm sure it's a great idea to. I was in Berlin in January (the missus family are German) and I had massive holes in two of my teeth at the time (since had them extracted). When the cold Russian wind that you get there got inside my mouth it was horrendous - never known pain like it.:yikes:
